During the year 1777, Colonel Roger Enos was dis- patched hither with a detachment of Continental troops for the defence of the town and parts adjacent thereto. His troops were stationed at Mianus, and later at Fort Non- sense, which was located in the Town of Stamford on the westerly side of the road about a mile north of the Steep Hollow (North Mianus) District School House, and was built under the direction of General Putnam. Greenwich was considered a border town and troops were quartered at this fort during the different campaigns to guard the frontier and to protect the inhabitants against the incursions of the enemy. It was to this fort that General Putnam hastened for aid after his narrow escape from the tories at the time of Tryon's raid on Greenwich. The Atlas of New York and Vicinity, published in 1867, by Beers, Ellis, and Soule, shows the location of Fort Nonsense. The foraging of the troops under the command of Colonel Enos was so excessive that the town at a special meeting, voted:
Whereas the troops of Colonel Enos' regiment quar- tered in this town have committed great outrages upon the property of some of the inhabitants of this town, in burning rails, cutting young growth of timber, etc .; therefore, it is proposed to this meeting, whether they will recommend unto the selectmen of this town, to apply to the field officers for redress of the aforesaid grievances. The selectmen were directed to apply for redress.
At a special town meeting held on the twelfth day of January, 1778, in pursuance of the requisition from his Excellency the Governor, of ye fifteenth day of December, 1777, the introduction to and the Articles of Confedera-
RUINS OF FORT NONSENSE.
I2I
Revolutionary War
tion and Perpetual Union between the States of America, were communicated to the inhabitants so that the sense of the town might be known thereon. The said articles being in said meeting deliberately read and considered were by vote accepted and approved.
It was also voted "that each non-commissioned officer and soldier who is draughted and voluntarily serves in this two months' expedition, receive a proportionable part of all the fines paid in consequence of said draught, and the selectmen were authorized to receive the said fines of the town treasurer and pay them out accordingly."
It was also voted "that the artillery men may have the town house for a guardhouse, and have liberty to build a chimney to it, and that the town will be at the cost of having masons for that purpose."
The town by vote made choice of Bezaleel Brown to be barrackmaster to supply the troops with wood and other necessaries.
At the annual town meeting held on the fourteenth day of December, 1778:
This meeting taking into serious consideration the danger and distress of the inhabitants of this town and the great loss and damage sustained by many of the good citizens thereof, occasioned chiefly by a number of vile abandoned wretches, who have gone over to and joined the common enemy of the United States of America, against the laws of this State and the liberties and privileges of the good people thereof; Thereupon, it is resolved by this meeting that it is in their opinion dangerous to the safety, liberties, peace and good government of this town, that any person that hath gone over to and joined, aided, or assisted the common enemy of the United States, or taken pro- tection under them to remain in this town, or to return to it, or ever be capable of obtaining any settlement in it. Resolved, that it is the opinion of this meeting that the au- thority and selectmen take all proper and legal steps to free the town of all such vile miscreants.
Further the town then voted for Captain Sylvanus Mead
I22
Ye Historie of Ye Town of Greenwich
to be barrackmaster for the year ensuing. For a Committee of Safety and Inspection :
Sylvanus Mead,
Josiah Ferris,
Isaac Howe,
Matthew Mead,
Reuben Rundle,
Edmund Mead.
Abraham Mead,
For a committee of supplies for soldiers' families : Joseph Hobby, Jr. and Nathaniel Mead, 4th.
At a special town meeting held on the second day of March, 1780, the town made choice of:
Roger Brown,
Gershom Lockwood, Jr.,
Nathaniel Mead, Jr.,
Captain Odle Close,
Abraham Husted,
Stephen Davis,
Peter Mead, Jr.,
Caleb Finch,
Andrew Marshall,
Samuel Lockwood, Jr.,
Robert Peck,
Timothy Reynolds,
Jehiel Mead,
Caleb Lyon, Jr.,
Jonathan Coe,
Silas Mead, Jr.,
to be inspectors of provision.
It is proposed whether this meeting is willing that the fines that belong to the town and are forfeited to it by delinquents that are draughted from the militia, or ordered into military service (exclusive of any that may arise in consequence of any mistake of any military officer in making returns) shall be given equally to the good and faithful soldiers that are now in service and shall from time to time be in the service till this town shall see fit to determine otherwise. Voted in the affirmative.
Also voted that the captains of the town receive the fines of the delinquents for military duty and pay it out to the soldiers.
The Battle of Lexington on the nineteenth day of April, 1775, precipitated the crisis which brought on the Revolu- tionary War. In response to the call for assistance from the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, Governor Trumbull of Connecticut called a special session of the Legislature to meet on the twenty-first day of April, 1775, at which session it was ordered that six regiments be raised for defence; also volunteers from the militia were ordered to march to Boston
123

for its relief. Volunteers were also ordered to march to New York to assist in the defence of that important point, and among the latter was Captain Abraham Mead's Com- pany of Horseneck (Borough of Greenwich), 9th Regiment.
